City woman charged with hitting daughter

A 31-year-old Hagerstown woman was charged Saturday with child abuse and assault in connection with allegations she hit her 12-year-old daughter repeatedly with a broom and her fist, according to court documents.

The woman, whose name is not being released to protect the identity of the child, was charged with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, child abuse and contributing to the condition of a child.

According to charging documents, police responded to the 100 block of Elm Street at about 5 p.m. Saturday and were told the woman had been beating her daughter with a broom following an argument between the two about a wading pool.

Witnesses said the woman argued with her daughter about getting into a wading pool and went into the house to get a long-handled broom, court documents say. Witnesses said the girl was struck on the face and head with the woman's hand and fist, causing the girl to bleed from her nose, court documents allege.

Witnesses said the woman led the girl into the house by her head and then saw the girl run from the house, court documents allege. The woman caught up to the girl and struck her between five to 10 times with her fist while neighbors tried to stop the attack, according to allegations in charging documents.

The girl was treated at Washington County Hospital and released into the custody of the Washington County Department of Social Services. The girl had a bloody nose, bruises to her right thigh, her right upper arm and the right side of her stomach, charging documents say.

When the woman was questioned at Hagerstown Police Department headquarters, she admitted "to striking her daughter, but said it was in self-defense," court documents allege.

The woman was being held Monday night at the Washington County Detention Center on $53,000 bond on charges stemming from the incident and a second set of charges, a jail spokesman said.
